I’m out. Deliberately Avoiding Your Call.

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve started back to school. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you it’s literally kicking my ass. Who knew it would be this hard to just go back? Apparently, everyone but me, that’s who.

Anyway, as I may have also mentioned, my current career has been a source of misery for me. I guess misery is a strong word. Mild annoyance is probably more appropriate. While I love my boss, and my coworkers (for the most part) and I’m extremely happy with my pay, the monotonous tone and mundane work I perform day in and day out has almost reached a point where I know that I will turn into a complete vegetable in a matter of days. My brain hasn’t been stimulated in months. I get the most boring work to do and have to beg for others to give me work. It’s pathetic and sad.

So, after giving the whole school thing A LOT of thought, and finally deciding to return and pursue something else, I feel a little better about where things are heading. And I’ve been narrowing down my fields of choice. I’ve talked to career advisors, listed my strengths and weaknesses, my passions and my disslikes. There are a thousand careers I’d love to try but nothing that has ever grabbed my attention the way heathcare did. More specifically, the way patient care did when I was on the floor.

Essentially, that means I’m applying for the nursing program starting in the fall. Wish me luck!
